For the third time in recent weeks, Magic Kingdom's Lightning Lane Premier Pass has sold out—this time for February 15, 2025 at $379 and February 14, 2025, at $399.

Lighting Lane Multi Pass and Lighting Lane Single Pass remain fully available at all parks on the same dates.

Why Are Premier Passes Selling Out at Magic Kingdom?

Lightning Lane Premier Pass is a one-day pass that grants one-time access to every available Lightning Lane attraction in a single park, without requiring guests to select return times in advance. Unlike Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which allows guests to book up to three Lightning Lane attractions at a time with scheduled return windows, Premier Pass offers complete flexibility—letting guests enter any Lightning Lane queue at their convenience throughout the day. Meanwhile, Lightning Lane Single Pass provides access to just one high-demand attraction per purchase, such as TRON Lightcycle / Run or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, making it the most limited option.

Magic Kingdom has consistently been the first and most frequent park to sell out of Lightning Lane Premier Passes. Several factors are likely contributing to this pattern:

Ride Selection: Magic Kingdom has more Premier Pass-eligible attractions than any other park, including TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
Increased Awareness: Now that Lightning Lane Premier Pass is available to all guests, more people are factoring it into their trip planning, leading to higher demand and faster sell-outs.

How Are Other Parks Affected?

So far, Magic Kingdom is the only park seeing regular Premier Pass sell-outs, while passes remain available at EPCOT, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

While Hollywood Studios may be the next park to see increased demand, its lower ride count compared to Magic Kingdom means its Premier Pass is not selling out as quickly.

What Happens Next?

With more sell-outs occurring outside of major holidays, the question now is whether Magic Kingdom's Premier Pass availability will remain unpredictable or if it will become a consistent sell-out even on lower-priced days.

Guests planning trips should purchase as soon as their window opens to avoid missing out.
If sell-outs continue, Disney may adjust pricing to further control demand.

just for fun plotted the price for the MK LLPP vs the Touring Plan projected crowd calendar, and while there is a bit of a trend, also seems like an adjustment to the base cost for LLPP starting March 1st and the highest crowds are expected This weekend/early next week but the highest prices are starting March 1

Heh? you said nobody laughed at the price of VIP plaids. they did. So what you posted was factually incorrect. sorry.

I still wonder what the end game here is? I really do think with them selling out it's to push FOMO and to get guests to want Premier pass over LLMP

I know when the folks from that site that isn't to be named, who often push back on money grabs tested out LLPP they admitted it made for a great day at MK - expensive, but great. So as long as you have the money that buying this isn't a real stretch for them I am sure they really enjoy their day and are satisfied

That is at least what Disney has said that it is a very small # of LLPP so it selling out shouldn't drastically impact operations the same way LLMP selling out would But we don't know anything exact

Someone correct me if I am wrong but the number of LLPPs sold is such a low number (at the moment) LLPP does not make a difference. The changes to DAS made a difference.

This may have been discussed, but I’m curious how LLPP selling out affects wait times at the parks compared to days LLMP sold out.

Not every post is for everyone. Just like not every Disney movie is for everyone ;)

I also would imagine there could be frustration about not being able to re-ride, especially in the non-MK parks.

I guess the thing with LLPP is the guest satisfaction has got to be quite high for those who pull the trigger on the purchase. Once you get past any sticker shock and decide it’s a worthwhile purchase for your group, you get exactly what they advertise - provided it’s not a day 3/4 of MK goes down - so what’s not to like about walking onto almost every ride? I’d imagine the only real pushback from actual users is from those who feel they didn’t need it due to low crowds, but how many are actually paying attention to that post purchase?
